Israel is planning to carry out military attacks in Iran after December, a French magazine reported Thursday overnight.
According to a report in Le canard enchainé quoted by Israel Radio, Jerusalem has already ordered from a French food manufacturer high-quality combat rations for soldiers serving in elite units and also asked reservists of these units staying abroad to return to Israel.
The magazine reports further that in a recent visit to France, IDF Chief of General Staff Gabi Ashkenazi told his French counterpart Jean-Louis Georgelin that Israel is not planning to bomb Iran, but may send elite troops to conduct activities on the ground there.
These, according to the magazine, may involve sabotage to nuclear facilities as well as assassinations of top Iranian nuclear scientists...

I hope so. But it seems that we hear this every year and yet it never happens.
Warning them of an attack ahead of time.. Strange days..
Bet it’s sooner now that Bibi’s in charge again! Go, Leader of the Free World, Bibi, with God’s blessing!
They gotta stop with the talk and do it, DO IT!
Wish I had a dollar for every one of these rumors.
Iran building the bomb, India looking to sell nuke tech, Islamists militants looking to seize Pakistan nukes, etc...
I don't want to live in interesting times. Speaking of which, the upcoming Chinese ascendancy will complicate all the above.
I fear my nation shall perish.
They should call UFC and have it on closed circuit
Israeli soldiers and airmen have a dangerous and challenging task. I’ll be praying for their success and safety.
I regret that we will be of little help and, in fact, may be hell bent on stopping them.
Why not tomorrow, given Zer0’s in ability to make a decision nor support out long time international friend. Our Government is a total shame, end of story.
Yep, heard this in 2008 as well. Didn’t believe it then, don’t believe it now.
I think Israel has become like us,,unable to take action needed to assure their survival. I don’t think they will do a thing nor will the people of this country.
Sometimes maybe history gets too remote for the people or something. The citizens forget or watch too much tv or are too fat and lazy to defend themselves.
I fear for all of us.

This is pickled red herring.
> “Israel will attack Iran after December”
Several months ago, well before “post-election protests” in Iran, a FReeper insisted that Israel will attack Iran’s nuclear sites in Sep/Oct 2009. So far this hasn’t happened.
The rumor that Israel will attack Iran’s nuclear facilities has been ongoing for last few years. Soon or later, a rumor of this magnitude and significance, similar to “Khamenei’s {coma} or death”, will come true. I think, the latter rumor (about Khamenei) is much more likely to happen than Israel attacking Iran’s nuclear sites in the foreseeable future.
As I anticipated months ago, now, we are told the timing is after December for an Israeli attack! My guess is that, MOST OFTEN, when a rumor of this type is spread across the web, it is meant to be deliberate - call it propaganda. Otherwise, Israel, whenever she wishes, can and will dismantle Iran’s nuclear sites, perhaps, without even going for an air strike! And, Israel’s timing or attempt to do so will not be broadcast publicly in forums or otherwise before it happens.
Less talk, more bomb.
*And, Israel’s timing or attempt to do so will not be broadcast publicly in forums or otherwise before it happens.*
Just curious, when is Yom Kippur this year?
Never mind, just missed it—also now remember that is when the Iranians tested their new missile.
I will suggest again that the best way is for an Israeli agent to cause an “industrial accident” inside one of those underground nuke facilities. Plausible deniability because everyone will assume that the Iranians screwed up, lied, and blamed Israel.
In the long run, I think that Israel wants to resume their 2500 year friendship with the Persians. A direct attack would complicate that goal.
Joke’s on Iran — this refers to December of 2008. ;’)

If I don’t believe this, then the Iranians definitely don’t believe it. I bet they’re quaking in their turbans, not.
The real question is when Israel protects herself from Iranian dictatorship threats of nuclear extermination, will the Obama administration openly support the Iranian terrorists by shooting down Israeli fighter jets (not Iranian) or do nothing?
If they're going to do it, do it the second after Khanmeini'd death is announced. They would have the backing of most of the population, but, hey, arm them first so they Basiji have a real opposition.
Cool, escargot and souffle.
